Wagga has a world-class track.
It’s time to put running in the spotlight.

The Wagga 5000 is more than a race. It’s about bringing our community together, showcasing the Bill Jacob Athletics Centre, and creating an event that gets more people moving and more people involved in running.

As a not-for-profit event, our focus is on giving back — supporting local running, creating opportunities and building something Wagga can be proud of.

We’d love local businesses to be part of that journey. Not just as sponsors, but as supporters of community, local sport, healthy lifestyles and the future of running in Wagga.
Run local.

Support local. Build something special. 🏃🏃‍♀️
